I hate greasing the front fittings

[IdahoMtnSpyder]

The front wheels on my 2015 RT Limited are making a low squeaking noise at low speed. I am assuming that it is because the front fittings need grease. Thoughts?

How long have you had your Spyder? I'm guessing you haven't studied the maintenance section of your operator's guide yet, because if you had you most likely would have noticed there is no requirement listed for greasing suspension components. That's because all of the joints were changed to lifetime grease components back about 2013. Your squeak may be coming from dry rubber bushings.

Also, this is an 8 year old thread. Most of the posters are gone, and threads this old are often not at all relevant for the current time. With questions like this one it's best to start a new thread.

Gotcha. Thanks. I've had it one year.

Are you hearing this squeak when you get on and off the bike? If you was on the bike and try to roll the bike by standing on the foot pegs and rocking side to side, do you hear it then? If you are hearing it at low speeds only it may be your brakes not your front end. Some times mine will do that when I first take off after a wash job or a long stay in the garage!!
